27th Annual National EPSCoR Conference, Portland Maine

第27届NSF EPSCoR全国会议支持NSF EPSCoR的工作和使命。NSF EPSCoR的目标是提高研究能力，加强STEM教育，并在历史上从NSF获得有限资助的司法管辖区推进科学和工程。在“将利益相关者的需求转化为有影响力的研究成果”的总体主题下，该活动将重点关注并展示NSF EPSCoR通过扩大影响、社区科学项目、教育机会和伙伴关系来吸引利益相关者的独特能力。每个辖区都将被要求展示他们的项目，这些项目可以作为国家模式，用于创建战略利益相关者参与，从而提高科研影响和教育成果。此外，会议将为与会者提供一个平台，以了解更多关于NSF EPSCoR和资助机会，特别强调轨道2和4提案。其他方面将包括扩大STEM、经济发展、融合科学、“流行病”最佳实践和学生专业发展的参与。将有一个面向学生的海报会议，以及一个面向所有参与者的社区科学展示。将对本次会议进行评估，以确定该计划的有效性，并帮助改进未来的活动。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 27th NSF EPSCoR National Conference supports the work and mission of NSF EPSCoR. The goals of NSF EPSCoR are to increase research capacity, strengthen STEM education, and advance science and engineering in jurisdictions that have historically received limited funding from NSF. Under the overarching theme of “Translating Stakeholder Needs into Impactful Research Outcomes,” the event will focus on and demonstrate NSF EPSCoR's unique ability to engage stakeholders through broadening impacts, community science projects, educational opportunities, and partnerships. Each jurisdiction will be asked to present on their programs that can be used as national models for creating strategic stakeholder engagement, leading to improved scientific research impacts and educational outcomes. In addition, the conference will serve as a platform for attendees to learn more about NSF EPSCoR and funding opportunities with a special emphasis on Track-2 and 4 proposals. Other strands will include broadening participation in STEM, economic development, convergence science, “pandemic” best practices, and professional development for students. There will be a poster session for students, and a community science showcase for all participants. This conference will be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of the program, and also to help improve future events.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
